STT: OpenWhispr local listening pipeline -> HAPI things-to-do inbox #5

Description

Problem

Operator needs a fast, local STT path for capturing spoken "things to do" without leaving the current focus. Existing voice integrations (ElevenLabs/Gemini/Qwen) are cloud realtime voice assistants -- different latency budget, different privacy posture, different intent.

Proposal

Wire the modified OpenWhispr build (local Whisper STT) as a background listener that:

Out of scope here: the inbox UI itself, the keyword/hotkey UX. Those are #2.

Acceptance

  • OpenWhispr instance running locally as a systemd service (or background daemon) and surviving reboot
  • One end-to-end test: speak a sentence -> transcript lands in the hub inbox within ~2s
  • Hub endpoint accepts authenticated posts and persists to a new inbox_items table or similar
  • Documented in docs/tooling/ (operator-local)
